st. Paul won yesterdays game from
Minneapolis by heavy hitting and clean
fielding. The visitors were sorely puz-
zled by Viau's twisters, only five of
them reaching first on safe hits. Their
fielding, however, was very good, six
out of st. Paul's ten runs being earned.
st. Paul went to bat at 1926, as it looked
as though rain would soon put stop to
the game. Murphy was presented with
base, and he added another to it by a
pretty steal, Wilmot bringing him home
on line hit to right center, the latter
taking second on Fosters failure to stop
the ball. Wilmot stole third, Cleveland
struck out, McCauley got base on balls
and stole second, and DillOn's hit to
left brought them both home. Two
runs were added in the third on Cleve-
lands single to right, McCauley'S base
ON balls and Dillon's double to right;
two more in the fifth on Wilmot's and
Cleveland'S triples and Pickett's single,
and three more in the sixth on SowderS'
triple, Viau'S single, HaweS' drop of
Murphy's hot liner and Patton's tumble.
Minneapolis crossed the plate in the
third inning on Shaw's base Oh balls, a
couple of steals and McKeever'S fine
double-bag drive to left; twice more in
the fourth on Fosters triple to center,
Murphy's base on balls and Stevens
and ShaW'S outs, and again in the eighth
on fielder'S choice, passed ball and an
out. The score:

inning Bob Caruthers held the Balti-
mOres down to two clean hits in tO-day's
game, and after Purcell was retired on a
foul fly in the ninth inning it looked for
all the world like shut out victory for
the champions. Burns, Tucker, Fulmer,
Griffin end SOmmer, however, then fol-
lowed with clean hits in the order
named and knocked out four runs, gain
ing the day for the BaltimOres after one
of the most exciting and stubbornly-
contested games on record. Both Car
uthers and Kilroy were at their best, the
former up to the last inning doing great
work. The support on both sides was
excellent. The home men especially
distinguished themselves by their bril-
liant work. Baltimore was rendered
hearty reception, Greenwood being
warmly received. Burns was roundly
Kissed and cheered in turn. Fully 5000
people were present. Ferguson's decis
ions on close plays and balls and strikes

GEORGIA CoNyICTS.
The Horrible Manner in Which
They Are Treated.

ATLANTA, July s.-The convict ques-
ton in Georgia is again to the fore, and
sensational developments are to be ex-
pected at any moment. 1t is now the
general opinion that the lease system
will be abolished, and the eOnvicts put
to work OH the public roads. The abuses
of the system have justified the Rev.
DR.. FeltOn'S sweeping denunciatiOn.
Some of the convie5s have been inhu-
manly treated. One man who lost his
shoes was made to walk barefoot over
hot bricks, and was afterwards beaten
with leather trace strap because he
complained of the keepers cruelty. In
one instance the cOnvictS were so badly
frozen that some of them died, and others
lOstt he use of their limbs. In one case
a cOnyit'S feet were frozen so badly
that the toes dropped off. Badly cooked
ratiOnS, spoiled meat, unclean and
horribly ventilated quarters, made the
death rate appallingly high. Epidem-
les were of course by no means uncOm-
mon. Complaint was followed by addi-
tiOnal cruel treatment. Men and w0-
men were sometimes chained together.
Whites and blacks alike were made to
work from daylight to dark. Fevers
and peStilence were not uncommon.
These facts are CLEANED from the re-
ports made by the physicians and from
statements made by discharged con-
victs. The truth will out, it is said, but
in this matter it has been long time
coming to light. In the meantime the
duel between ex-Gov. Smith and DIR.
Westmorelahd is likely to come off at
any time, and when it does they will be
expected to fight to death, as both are
men of great determination

count of Mr. Conley being resident and

utes' notice. If Mr. Glow does not ac-
eept, Mr.. Conley will fight any man in
the world under the same conditions,

NEW YORK, July S.-A Halifax, N.
S.. special to the World says: In the
preliminary examination of young Mil
mine, accused of the murder of Miss
Juplin, at Margate, P. E. l., whom he
was alleged to have betrayed, Milmine's
father testified that both he and his son,
the prisoner, were at home all evening
of the night of the murder. Hardly
were those words out of his mouth
when he tainted. AS soon as
he recovered he admitted that
he had sworn to lie,
and then testified that he was absent
from home that evening, but when he
arrived home at IL o'clock his son was
in the house. The prisoner was COM
mitted for trial. Blood stains were
found in the woods a few yards from
where, the handkerchief was found
which led to the discovery of the girls
body. 1t is believed that the murder
was committed at this spot and the
body was placed on gate, t1Oated down
the river to the boiling springs and
there sunk, the gate being allowed to
drift. The gate has been found. Bry-
ansan, who was arrested as an acces-
sorry, was discharged to-day. The pris-

MILWAUKEE, July S.-FrOm time to

confessed by the Whitehll Sewing Ma

The judgments upon which the seizure
was made are as follows: j. ID. Inbrush,

VOgel, Sr., S3,0S7.61. and $500 in favor

outside of the judgments mentioned
their Indebtedness is small, and that the

prevails that the works will be closed,

A DAY IN CAMP.
What the Second Regiment is
Doing at MankatO.


Special to the Globe.
MANKATo, Minn., July s.-This has
been day of thorough work through
out, in camp and in field. The guard
was frequently mOleSted by stragglers
during last night, but they found in
Capt. Dewitt an officer who would have
DO trifing, and after several had been
put in the guard house, everything be-
came quiet. The senior officer of the
guard was Lieut.. G. Ii. Brink, of Com
pany G, and the junior officer Lieut.. r.
A. Hallenten, of Company b. The pass
word was ''Vicksburg." Reveille was
sounded at 5:15 this morning, when the
boys promptly turned out for roll call and
breakfast. Company quarters and all
the streets were policed and before g
o'clock the camp was as clean as new
mOwn lawn. When the sick call
was sounded those who had
been overcome by the heat OH
the day before were found to be rapidly
improving Nearly all the sickness in
camp is attributed to the excessive use
of ice water. The battalion formed at
$50 for drill, which was mostly in di-
vision movements, the eVOlutiOns of
which, though altogether new to the
regiment, were very credltabIy per-
formed. Morning guard mount occurred
at S:S5. The officer of the day was Capt.
George S. Whitney, of Company b;
Senior Officer of the Guard Lieut.. Ira
Padden. of Company g, and Junior Off
Ger of the Guard Lieut.. James K. Wood
ard, of Company G, battalion skirmish
drill was prominent feature of the day.
Lieut.. Col. Meade was in command of
the reserve SkirmiSheFS and Capt. Will
lam Bird acted as major in the absence
of Maj. Ives. The
MOST INTERESTING FEATURE
of the day to the boys was the arrival of
Battery +. Fourth United States artil-
lery. under command of Maj. George b.

bring fifty-fve men with them and
